Camp Arequipa: Girl Scout Day Camp 2017

CAMPERS

GIRL CAMPERS
Girls are eligible to attend camp after completing kindergarten
through 5th grade. Girls who have been to Camp Arequipa previously may enter the Aides in Training (ANT) program - in Sessions II, III and/or IV only - once they have completed 6th grade. The number of girls placed in camp is dependent on
the number of adult volunteers who work at camp. Space is limited to
185 people per session. Children of full-time (5-day) volunteers are
given priority placement in a session. Campers may attend only ONE
session, so please prioritize your choices.

ALL COMPLETE APPLICATIONS
RECEIVED BEFORE March 4 WILL BE TREATED THE SAME, regardless of which
day you apply — applicants will be chosen by lottery for camp placement.
Only those received March 4 or later will have a lower priority. (The exceptions to this are that children of full-time bus-riders, full-time volunteers, and Day Camp Committee volunteers always receive
priority placement.) Marin County Day Camp Committee does not assume
responsibility for any late, lost or misdirected mail.

WAIT LISTGirls who do not get into camp in our lottery will be put
on a waiting list. Campers will be notified if space becomes available.
If space becomes available, any balance is due within TWO WEEKS of notification,
or within three weeks of the start of camp, whichever is sooner. Camp fees
are not refundable within three weeks of the start of the camp session.

TRANSPORTATION
Bus stops will tentatively be Mill Valley-Corte Madera-Greenbrae-San
Anselmo on one bus and Terra Linda-Central San Rafael-Fairfax on
a second bus. First stops leave between 8-8:30am; locations subject
to change dependent upon needs. Please note that
there is no bus service from West Marin. For each session we need
two week-long adult volunteer Bus Riders who will ride to and from camp
each day, one on each route.

PIXIES and TAG-ALONGS (TAGS)
We provide
special units for the non-Girl Scout children of our adult volunteers.
Pixies are young boys and girls ages 2-½ – 5 years old who
are out of diapers, and Tag-Alongs are boys ages 6-10 years old. These children
enjoy a full camp program much like the girls, while the adult volunteer helps
in another part of camp.

FEES: $50 per child per week, including a camp t-shirt.
• ALL sessions

NOTE: No bus transportation is provided for Pixies or Tags
